1. White sweet potatoes are rich in starch and can be used as a staple food on the table. The flesh of white sweet potatoes is loose and tender, so they are mostly processed into bagged snacks and sold. In fact, white sweet potatoes can also be fried, stir-fried, and deep-fried in different ways. Whether paired with meat or vegetables, they can make delicious dishes.
